Dr Oz: Super Infections: When the Common Cold Can Kill

Dr Oz did a segment called “Super Infections: When the Common Cold Can Kill.” When you are miserable from a cold and have a sore throat or drippy nose, did you know that you are at an elevated risk for getting a Super Infection? Doctor Oz said that there are around 200 cold viruses we can catch, and when your body’s immune system is fighting off colds with white cells, b cells and t cells, you are at a higher risk for Super Infections including Pneumonia, Strep Throat, Sinusitis, Ear Infections and Asthma. How can you stop the common cold from making a jump to a super infection?
